I suggest you go in there with the notes from the stop-reading panels, and tell those well-meaning folks, "Okay. Just do everything they did here, because obviously it did nothing to stop my reading."
I like it!
Unfortunately, I'm beginning to suspect there's some fundamental difference between me and the teenagers they're working with. Seems other people don't automatically slam into books at a certain proximity like they're two opposing magnets.
I will say that Calvin and Hobbes took on whole new dimensions when I went back to read it after a few college courses in popular culture. But I can see how they aren't quite the same as a chapter book.
And yeah, when I think back on it I'm always stunned that they worked so hard to slow me down. I keep thinking it would probably have been better to just try to aim kids like me at some Larnin' and go back to helping the kids who struggled to read core vocabulary.
